This is it. All the training and racing for the last one year and it will boil down to this weekend. Welcome to Ironman World Championship 2008. This is the 30th Anniversary for the M-Dot and as usual the race will start at the bay of Kailua Kona, Hawaii exactly at 7.00am on this coming saturday 11 Ocotber 2008.
30 years of Ironman
I am personally excited as I count down to the next 28 plus hours. Well, this years race you will see the showdown of the Elite Men Athlete like, the defending champion Chris McCormack (aka Macca), last year first runner-up Craig Alexander (aka Crowie) and Norminator - Norman Stadler and of course the Giant SUV, Torbjorn Sinaballe who say on yesterday's press conference that he is ready to stick on to the Norminator in the bike leg.
Macca talking to the press
On the Women's, Chrissie is set and poise to defend her title but with all humility and grace, she was telling the press that she is strong and trained well, but there are many girls out there that can still put a equally good race. Watch out for Rebecca Keat, Rebecca Preston, and Natasha Badmann and of course, Miss Consistency, Kate Major.
Chrissie, as always showing her sunshine laughter
